Well all because of Jan I had to go dig out my old BYU Journal. It brought back many fond memories. And although I was just trying to be cute on her blog it bothered me that I couldn't remember all the words. I just had to see if I kept the words to the old Illinois Mission song. It was sung to the tune of edleweiss. Sure enough I still have the paper my twirp date wrote it on.
Illinois, Illinois I have grown to love you
Proud and true my life through
I think fondly of you.
Mission of heritage Joseph's land
God will always Bless you
Illinois, Illinois I have grown to love you.
change the last line when you are going home from mission to
Illinois Illinois I am going to miss you.
p.s. Don't forget to check out my daughter's new blog

Love it Stephanie. I am laughing my head off really. I pictured you having to get this information or you would lay awake all night trying to remember it. We are silly creatures.
